The Olympic Games in Rio have mercifully wrapped, and Joel and Corey Hall have seen enough. Joel really didn’t watch any save for one Usain Bolt race, and Corey tried but couldn’t find the Judo. And with moron douches like Ryan Lochte in the games, it seems like the right amount. The guys discuss the chaos that Lochte caused in Rio, the amount of condoms distributed to the athletes and why Joel finds the estimated amount of sex going on in the Olympic village to be highly exaggerated. Corey disagrees saying, unbelievably, that even places like Comic Cons are hotbeds of wild sexual activity. It’s spirited argument, and nobody really wins but you’ll enjoy listening. Also, Larry Wilmore’s show gets cancelled, Sausage Party is a good time says Joel, and why Corey is sticking with the iPhone no matter what. Plus, goodbye to Kenny Baker and John Saunders, the 90s old man sitcom remembered, nighttime in Detroit is captured in a wild video, and Corey sees Suicide Squad so you don’t have to.

Corey Hall returns on this show, which is good for two reasons: one, it’s Corey and two, it’s not Harry again. Joel explains the last show and why it’s not available anymore on the site, and how he hopes that won’t be the case permanently, even though this was the case one other time. This current show, though has Joel and Corey playing along with the new Match Game, even though it’s not it’s cracked up to be. The guys listen to a lot of bad questions and worse answers and they investigate why modern TV can’t do game shows as good as they used to. Also, Stranger Things gets a full review (and breakdown of influences) from Joel, Corey enjoyed but can’t remember the new Star Trek, and neither one of them has Olympic fever, but Corey will still watch some Judo – if they’ll show it. Plus, more on the great Vice Principals, the difference between an enthusiast book and a mass-market one, and why Hollywood’s wacky beauty standards have made girls that Joel and Corey would kill for the “ugly friend”.
